MP3: Lee Ranaldo – “Off The Wall”

While the future of Sonic Youth still remains uncertain, its members seem determined to stay active with other projects. Leader Thurston Moore released Demolished Thoughts last year and now Lee Ranaldo, who is known for playing second string (or maybe even third string) in Sonic Youth will release a solo album this March. Although by no means his first, Between The Times and the Tides could be the one that shows Lee as a truly talented songwriter in his own right if “Off The Wall” is anything to go by. The song sounds like Sonic Nurse-era Sonic Youth and is one heck of an ear worm. Check it out below.

Between The Times and the Tides comes out through Matador on March 26th.
